A severe hail storm ravages central Alberta over the weekend. Flooding and hail damage were seen throughout the area. The storm was so strong that it knocked out power to many places including the site of our pilot plant in Ponoka. Large hail stones pelted properties and buildings, piling up on the highways and roads like snow.
We are pleased to share that even though a power loss was suffered, SolarSteam Inc. system was able to withstand the strong winds, rain, and golf-ball sized hail with no damage and all 4 levels of emergency systems and shutdowns worked accordingly.
